Infusion

Liqueur

Colour: gleaming amber-yellow

Texture: a smooth texture with a slightly powdery feel

Flavours: sweet

Aromas: very fresh to start with a floral accent (rose) and notes of zest and exotic fruit, followed by warmer aromas of honey, vanilla (pod), butter, cooked fruit, nuts (hazelnut), spice (nutmeg) and subtle underlying notes of wood and liquorice

Aromatic profile and length in the mouth: a good presence in the mouth from the start, with powerful fruity and floral notes. The honey, wood and liquorice qualities are incredibly long-lasting, and the delicate texture adds to the pleasure of this tasting
